Abstract

We present a new translation of Metric Temporal Logic with knowledge operators (MTLK) to the Linear Temporal Logic with knowledge operators and with a new set of the atomic propositions (\({\mathrm{{\mathrm{{LTL}}}}_\mathrm{q}\mathrm {K}}\)). We investigate a SAT-based bounded model checking (BMC) method for MTLK. The semantics of MTLK is defined over timed interpreted systems (TIS). We show how to implement the bounded model checking technique for \({\mathrm{{\mathrm{{LTL}}}}_\mathrm{q}\mathrm {K}}\) and timed interpreted systems, and as a case study, we apply the technique in the analysis of the Timed Generic Pipeline Paradigm modelled by TIS. We also present the differences between the old translation of MTLK and the new one. The theoretical description is supported by the experimental results that demonstrate the efficiency of the method.
